Family-Centered Cesarean: A Randomized Controlled Trial
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Family-Centered Cesarean and Traditional Cesarean for Patient Satisfaction and 2 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 149 participants across 2 sites.
Detailed Summary
The purpose of this study is to determine if patient birthing experiences differ between the family-centered and traditional cesarean methods. We hypothesize that the family-centered cesarean method will lead to more unique and personalized cesarean birthing experiences without increasing the risks of adverse neonatal and maternal outcomes from those documented with the traditional cesarean.
Study Details
Timeline
Interventions
Procedure involves lowering part of the surgical drape exposing a transparent window through which the mother can watch the birth of her baby; the baby will be placed on her chest immediately after the delivery. Cleaning and evaluation of the baby will be done by a nurse who is standing at the head of the bed.
Procedure involves keeping the surgical drape up throughout the entire surgery so that the birthing process will not be visible to the mother, and the baby will be taken to the warmer to be evaluated and cleaned after birth but is available to be laid on the mother's chest at any point upon request.
